SEMA Show 2025 Recap
Our Biggest, Busiest, and Most Inspiring Year Yet
The 2025 SEMA Show was one for the books—and easily one of the best we’ve ever experienced. From the incredible people we connected with (new and familiar) to the overwhelming traffic in our booth, this year reminded us exactly why we love being part of this industry. The energy, the craftsmanship, the passion—SEMA 2025 had all of it, and we were honored to play a role in so many standout builds.
The GAP Industries Showcase: Two Stunning Builds
We were proud to partner once again with GAP Industries, who brought not one but two incredible vehicles to the show—each one a testament to high-level craftsmanship and the benefits of ZyCoat protection.
1966 Chevelle — Our Booth Feature and the 2027 GoodGuys Giveaway Car
Front and center in our booth was a jaw-dropping 1966 Chevelle, soon to become the GoodGuys 2027 Giveaway Car. Shown in full bare metal, this build gave attendees an up-close look at the meticulous interior and structural details normally hidden beneath paint.
One of the most talked-about components?
Its billet engine block, fully treated with ZyClear—preserving the raw metal finish and giving it a jewelry-like shine that stopped people in their tracks. The wheels were also coated in ZyClear, maintaining their pristine finish throughout the week with zero effort.
1965 Lincoln Continental — Cocky’s Custom Fabrication (Wisconsin)
Parked proudly next to the Chevelle was a beautifully executed 1965 Lincoln Continental from Cocky’s Custom Fabrication. We treated this car live at the show with ZyClear, applying it to the wheels and showcasing just how transformative (and effortless) a proper metal-protection coating can be.
The results spoke for themselves:
Incredible shine. Zero maintenance. All show long.
GAP Industries Outside the Booth: The 1972 Corvette
Beyond our booth, GAP Industries also displayed a stunning 1972 Corvette elsewhere at SEMA. This build featured ZyClear applied to the wheels, headers, and side pipes, giving each component long-lasting protection and a clean, crisp finish throughout the event. It was a crowd favorite and another proud example of what ZyCoat products can do.
ZyCoat Across the Show Floor
In addition to the featured builds, we spotted multiple other vehicles across SEMA running ZyCoat products—and nothing makes us happier. Seeing our coatings used by builders and fabricators we admire is both humbling and energizing. We loved every chance we had to talk shop, share stories, and celebrate the creativity that pushes this industry forward.
A Huge Thank You
To everyone who stopped by our booth, checked out the builds, asked questions, or shared their own projects—thank you. The community around this industry is what makes SEMA so special, and this year’s turnout exceeded anything we’ve experienced before.
We’re already looking forward to next year. Until then—keep building, keep creating, and keep pushing the limits of what’s possible.
